This is not the same place as it was before it closed down a few months ago. The energy is totally different. I don't know why it closed in the first place. The energy used to be live. It was the type of spot that grabbed you upon entering. The energy was just as good during the day and evening livelier at night. Since reopening, the only thing I see they added was hookah. I could be wrong for saying this, but it's sad that all the places to be want to have hookah there. I guess it's the new cool/baller status to have one at your table along with drinks. But, people don't smoke or want to date a smoker. I've digressed. As I was saying, I've been in here twice since reopening and haven't been impressed at all. The pizza is not the same and the drinks have become watered down. Before, you had some of the prettiest bartenders and servers in the city which attracted even more beautiful people particularly the ladies. It seemed folks were laid back and really trying to have a good time. Now, it's the opposite. The last time I was there which was this past Sunday (6/30/2013), it was pretty much dead even for a Sunday. I ordered a hookah. I told my waitress that I'm having friend meet me so if she could wait a few before bringing it out. She brought it out alright. Between serving other tables - which it wasn't many - she would stop by our table to enjoy hookah with us. I'm thinking to myself that she is not paying for this at all, she is supposed to be serving, and if you want to enjoy, throw in a drink since hookah is basically full price even for refills here. Most places charge a smaller price for refills. I may sound very upset in my review, and I'm not. It's just that why did they close down just to reopen and serve hookah. Call me what you want, but lately I've been having more fun sitting at the bar of restaurants as opposed to going to actual bars. I Goree this place gets better as those of us who stay on the Westside of the city would like a decent spot to hang out without having to always drive into the city. As I tell anyone, don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself.
Review Source:Just went this past Thursday to support my homie AJ and on a personal level, it was like a reunion! I got a chance to see a few faces I hadn't seen in awhile. DJ Tron kept us rocking with no breaks in between, as far as the specials, the event was promoted as $2 slices and $2 beer BUT when I tried to order that I was told there was NO special. Â But considering the regular prices are considerably cheap, I wasn't really tripping. Â I just need management and event promotions to line up. Â
The one big downside I noticed, the bathrooms are marked large enough as Male/Female and men kept going in the women's restroom and apparently not caring where they aimed and had the restroom smelling like straight urine. Â I spoke to the manager and he said he'd take care of it. Â My Tuesday nights have been totally opposite of this experience so I'll assume they will get it taken care of.
All in all the night was FUN!
